Poecilostomatoida
This article needs to be updated. The reason given is: Poecilostomatoida was renamed to Ergasilida in 2019 (https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=1103); the paper proposing this revised phylogeny (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5567239/) has since been retracted..

Poecilostomatoida is a suborder of
Description
The classification of these copepods has been established on the basis of the structure of the mouth. In poecilostomatoids the mouth is represented by a transverse slit, partially covered by the overhanging labrum which resembles an upper lip. Although there is variability in the form of the mandible among poecilostomatoids, it can be generalized as being falcate (sickle-shaped).[1][2]
The
Life cycle
As with many crustaceans, larval development is metamorphic with immature forms differing greatly from those of adults. Embryos are carried in paired or single sacs attached to first abdominal somite (as seen in the illustration of the female Sapphirina darwinii above right).[4][5]
